In today’s business world, online customer reviews have become so important! They are especially important to a small business like my own, Life Saver Of Houston. I wanted to take a few minutes and explain why I’m saying that.
Online reviews are essential for a small business as the majority of customers read these reviews before making a purchasing decision. With the majority of customers searching the web for products or services, on line customer reviews have become the next best thing to word of mouth.
Nearly 91% of consumers aged 18 to 34 say that they feel they can trust an online review as much as a personal recommendation. Also, 92% of consumers say they hesitate to purchase if they don’t have access to reviews. And, 82% of consumers of all ages read reviews for businesses. Especially for local businesses like my own.
According to special report from Womply business research, businesses with 82 or more reviews earn 54% in annual revenue than average.
Now, this is January, 2022 and my business still doesn’t have 82 reviews, but it does have more reviews than any other swimming pool fence company in Houston. In fact, it might have more customer reviews than any other similar business in our great State of Texas.
My business, Life Saver Of Houston, currently has 44 reviews. We have gotten all of those reviews honestly and fairly… no cheating.
They are all 5-star reviews and I’m proud of it! I know a lot of visitors think that is a bit strange… forty-four 5-star reviews… but, they have been honestly gotten. Yes, my company tries hard to give the best customer experience. It has been a lot of hard, hard work, but worth it. We plan on getting a lot more!
3 Important Sites for Small Business Online Customer Reviews
The forty-four 5-star reviews that I’m talking about are all Google reviews. We have a lot more reviews on other search engines and other sites. Google reviews, however, are most important. Google is by far the leader and everybody else just follows suit. If you want to leave my company or anybody else’s company a review, please do it on Google. You can do it by going here.
Another search engine that does have merit for business, not near as much as Google, is Facebook. For a small business, this is the second most important search engine. Facebook is a social platform and has 2.91 billion active users on a monthly basis. While you are reading this, go to this link and leave my business a review on Facebook.
Yelp is a third platform that can help a lot of businesses. Yelp has become recognized as a marketing site for small business A lot of consumers use it to look at local business reviews, so don’t forget it if you are a local business.
